Robert Black. On last Friday, about 4 P. NJ,
he left the house for the purpose of taking a
bath in a stream only a short distance away.
He told a member Of the family where he was
going and said he would soon return. In the
meantime a rain came up, and as he had failed
to return to the house, his brother started to
look for him, and found him lying with his
face in the branch, dead. 1t is supposed that
he was seized with a spasm and falling, face
downward, in the branch. in his helpless condi-

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

The greatly needed rain came last Tues
day afternoon and night, reviving, as it
fell, the thirsty crops. 1t was general, ex-
tending throughout the county. Its delay
in coming has been attended with some
injury to the wheat and oats crops. The
yield of these crops will not meet expec-
tations in consequence Of the dry wealth
er. Yet some farmers who have had more
rain than their %neighbors, are boasting of
their fine wheat and oats. They are now
engaged in harvesting. The late rain has
been of immense benefit to cotton and
corn. The condition of these crops was
never better at this time, and If the sea-
sons continue favorable, Chester county
will make plenty of corn and plenty
of cotton. The outlook Wreaths in smiles
the faces of our farmers. They have had
several years of scarcity they believe
this is to be the year of plenty.
Some trouble has arisen between our
railroad agent and the railroad company
in consequence of alleged discrimination
in freights. He is charged with making a
difference between our brokers in the rates
on merchandise between this point and
Richburg. The company claims that he
required one broker to pay only through
rates, while local rates were collected Of
other brokers.
1t was brought to light by one of the
brokers affected thereby reporting the
matter to the authorities in Columbia
and demanding that the same rates be
given him as to his competitor. Healso
declared his intention of appealing to the
Railroad Commission if the demand was
refused. The railroad authorities, after in
vestigation, found the discrimination to be
as represented. Mr.. Lumpkin has made

GASTONIA HIGH SCHOOL.

The commencement exercises of "Gasto-
MIA High School," which took place on
the 9th ultimo, may be of interest to your
readers, as this institution has a patronage
from South Carolina principally from
York county, as we'll as from a large Sec
ton of North Carolina.
The school is fully up, in the line of
progress, with. the flourishing town in
which it is located. The faculty is thor
oughly imbued with the ideas and prin-
ciples of modern progress in teaching, and
the recitations and defamation of the
pupils showed a correctness Of method and
an appreciation of their subject matter,
seldom seen in similar exhibitions.
At the close of the morning exercises,
Gen'l E. M. Law, of Yorkville, delivered
the anniversary address, which was listen
ed to with marked attention and elected
frequent and hearty applause. We would
be pleased to give an outline of the ad-
dress, as we'll as a more detailed account
of the exercises of the morning, and Of
the admirable concert at night; but space
forbids. We w saw a more attentive
and interested audience, or a more thor
oughly disciplined corps of students on
any similar occasion. The principals,
Messrs. Reid & Bigham, have great reason
to congratulate themselves on their success
thus far, and to look forward with conf
dence to the future of the excellent insti-
tuition under their charge.

NOTES FROM WESTERN YORK.

HOPEWELL, une4.-Since my last COM
munication, our section was visited by a
severe rain and hail storm, the latterdoing
considerable damage to cotton and wheat
on the plantations of Messrs. Edward
Leech, John w. Whitesides and John
Smith. The latter mentioned had about
fifty acres of cotton that was badly cut
and torn. Gardens also suffered. Bean
stalks were left standing lealess.
Corn and cotton are looking well. Sea-
sons are splendid, or have been until this
time, but now the rains are becoming too
frequent.
The bud worm has made its appearance
in some places, much to the annoyance
of the husbandman.
The many friends of Mr.. j. D. Smarr,
who has been confined to his bed for sew
eral weeks at Mrs. M. E. Smarr's, will be
glad to hear of his convalescence. 1t is
hoped that he will soon be able to return
to his family. -

THE CONDITION OE THE CROPS.

Under date of last Sunday the following
crop bulletin was issued by the chief slg-
nal officer at Washington:
During the week ending. June 4, the
weather has been cooler than the Az
erage for the week in all agricultural ais
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains. In
the Ohio and lower Missouri Valley, Fen
nessee, Kentucky, Virginia and North
Carolina and the Eastern portion of New
ENGLAND, the deficiency of temperature for
the week ranged from 25 to so degrees, or
a daily average of about 5 degrees cooler
than usual. The temperature was slight,
ly in excess of normal in Oregon and
Northern California, while in central and
Southern California it was ABOUT the
average.
The temperature for the season from
January | to June 4, 1887, differs but
SLIGHTLY from the normal temperature in
the Northern States and in the. Southern
States bordering on the Atlantic coast,
while the average daily excess in the cot
ton States ranges from 10 to ~
During the week the rainfall has Deen
generally in excess in States east OF
the Mississippi River, and in Louisiana,
eastern Texas, southern Missouri and
eastern Kansas. Slight deficiencies OF
rainfall LOT Llle Wcch dlC lCPoleSN AneP
per Mississippi Valley, Minnesota, Ohio,
Dakota and Nebraska. But numerous
and we'll distributed showers occurred
throughout the grain regions of the North
west, which appear to have affected the
crop in those sections favorably.
The cotton region has been favored
during the week by an excess of rainfall
ranging from one to two inches in North
ern Louisiana, Mississippi, northern Ala,
bama, North and South Carolina and
Georgia. Although there is large sea-
sonable deficiency of precipitation in these
States, the recent rains appear to have
been very beneficial to the growing crops,
owing to their timely occurrence n IA
vorable distribution.
The weather. during the week apparent
ly proved favorable for growing crops:
Needed rains have occurred throughout
the wheat and corn region, excepting in
portions of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa,
where light showers occurred, n tele-
graphic reports received this morning Sun-
day) show that showers have occurred in
the past eight hours and are likely to
continue for the next forty-eight hours in
the States above named.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.

While several names have been mention
ed as successor of Mr.. McBryde as President
of the South Carolina College, with due
regard for the gentlemen named, we
suggest as a competent gentleman for the
position, Col. Asbury Coward, long known
as the successful principal of Kings Noun
tain Military School at this place, and for
four years the acceptable State Superin-
tendentof Education. Col. Coward's men
tai endowments and life training ft him
specially for the position; and while it
would be foreign and repugnant to his taste
to enter into an unseemly contest for the
presidency, yet we believe, should the
trustees of the institution favorably con-
slider his name, he would accept the posi-
ton, and by wise and judicious admins
tration place the College in the front rank
of the leading institutions of learning in
the land.

RAILROAD NOTES.

On Monday morning last, Messrs. Griffin ~
Gorton commenced work, opposite the ceme-
terry, on their contract, which is for FIVE miles
west of town. The contractors intersecting
them, west, are Messrs. Smith & Lathrop, and
as their part of the line is now permanently
located, they will soon be enabledto commence
work, when the entire line from Camden to
Blacks will be covered by contractors.
The permanent location from the Misses
Gilfllens', to Yorkville, is known as the second
survey, entering town on the south side, and
is practically the same as heretofore published.
The most important change in the preliminary
survey is on the land of Rev. L.. A.. Johnson,
in town. Instead of running diagonally
through his lot, as first surveyed, the line
bears around it, missing entirely MI. Lewis
lot, and intersecting Church street near the
residence Of Mrs. McPheters.
The damage to MI. Johnson was assessed by
arbitration, the railroad representatives select
ing Capt. J. Robert Lindsay and S. Anderson
McElwee, and Mr.. Johnson selecting Sheriff
r. H. Glenn and Frank e. Smith as arbitrators.
They assessed the amount Of Mr.. Johnson's
damages at S562.5O which conclusion is salts
factory to both parties.
Mr.. G. R. Kinsley, who has the contract for
grading the first eight miles this side of Blacks,
was in town yesterday for the purpose of pur-
chasing carts at Mr.. Willis shop. He reports
satisfactory progress with his work, and repre-
sents Blacks to be on boom Of expectancy in
anticipation Of the early extension to that town
of the Georgia and Carolina Midland.
Capt. Lewis will put a force of men to work
to-day on the trestle over Fishing Creek, near
Gabbie's Ford.
Mr.. R. Haskell Dobson has been engaged
as book-keeper for Griffin & Gorton. They
have also employed, as one of their foremen,
Mr.. George w. Beach, of Columbia.
The Lancaster RevieaO says that Albert Ran
dali, colored, has taken a contract to grade two
miles of the road, commencing near Cane
Creek. in Lancaster county, and going in the
direction Of Catawba River.
We print in another column the salient points
of the terms Of the agreement entered into be-
tween the Georgia and Carolina Midland and
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago, by
which the former is consolidated with the lat.
ter road. Col. Matson, chief engineer, has full
confidence in the successful completion of this
enterprise. He has selected Mr.. w. G. Whit
ner, who graduated from the South Carolina
College last summer, and who has been for ten
months resident engineer on the Augusta
Edgefeld and Newberry Railroad, to survey
and locate the line Of road from Newberryt to the
point where it will connect with the Charleston
Cincinnati and Chicago. The first survey will
begin his week. 1t will run from Newber-
ry to Union, thence to Pinckney Ferry, on
Broad River, and thence to some point in
tersecting the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chi
cago west of Yorkville thence to Yorkville,
and thence through Bethel township, andthence
to Charlotte. Other lines will be surveyed,
however, the adoption of either to be- deter
mined hereafter.
